Poetry, music, mental health activism, climbing up stuff...views are my own. mad/neurodivergent thinking to be expected…

@BPDFFS So much this. Focus on 'skilling up' MH workforce to deliver 'interventions'has taken away the ability and time for staff to hold that space. If they aren't seen to be doing stuff to/with a person it's seen as wasteful. But that time being held is where the most healing occurs ❤️

@finding_sunrise Ah nooo so rubbish that you are in this situation Brooke. I've had similar things happen to me so can understand how hard it is for an autistic person to have to move unexpectedly. Sending solidarity, take as much time as you need or at least as you can x

@zoelou2325 So happy to hear this ❤️

[benjamin dorey (he/him) @dorey_benjamin]

@zoelou2325 So good to have you back 🙂

@Shrink_at_Large @WillReidWeb So sad this. Been in LE roles for a decade and see how 2010 to now has changed from medicalising misery caused by austerity to justifying austerity by demedicalising it... activism against the real issue of diagnosis denying state harm turned against mad folk to deny their pain

@psychkes I did this a few months ago and fell down the stairs

[benjamin dorey (he/him) @dorey_benjamin]

The autistic experience of your partner losing their voice due to illness and you unconsciously mimicking so you are also conversing in raspy whispers when totally fine 🙃😂

@psychkes 🫠🤮

@zoelou2325 @finding_sunrise Great work Brooke ❤️

[benjamin dorey (he/him) @dorey_benjamin]

@zoelou2325 Always up for a chat if you need Zoe ❤️you're right, you need to go easy on yourself.

[benjamin dorey (he/him) @dorey_benjamin]

@EllieWildbore That's not at all how I experience you Ellie. You are an intelligent, kind and funny person who brings a lot to the world! So sorry you are feeling like this at the moment. Sending love ❤️

[benjamin dorey (he/him) @dorey_benjamin]

@zoelou2325 I’m just finishing marking for ImROC peer course and just reading so many inspiring stories of people overcoming great challenge to become amazing future or current peer workers is a definite glimmer moment :)

[benjamin dorey (he/him) @dorey_benjamin]

@finding_sunrise @zoelou2325 This is such a good glimmer!

[benjamin dorey (he/him) @dorey_benjamin]

@zoelou2325 Sending love Zoe…so tough and tiring. Really appreciate your honesty about this ❤️

[benjamin dorey (he/him) @dorey_benjamin]

@zoelou2325 Nooo! Hope they get there quicker than that Zoe! If it’s any comfort they told me four hours and were there in 90 mins last time 😬🤞

[benjamin dorey (he/him) @dorey_benjamin]

@psychkes Sorry this all sound absolutely rubbish. I would def be PRNing the hell out of such a situation. Hope you manage to get some rest soon

[benjamin dorey (he/him) @dorey_benjamin]

@sallyann98745 So amazed you went through with all this. Must be so tiring and additionally difficult when the person publicly claims to be an ally of traumatised people. But really inspiring. Hope you can get some rest and closure soon.

[benjamin dorey (he/him) @dorey_benjamin]

@Shrink_at_Large @RITB_ This is what I needed to hear today. Thank you so much for sharing

[benjamin dorey (he/him) @dorey_benjamin]

@finding_sunrise Omg yes….an exam I have tomorrow has been moved online due to which I’m sure the examiners feel is no biggie but having to reimagine everything about how it’s going to feel in terms of environment is hitting me hard! Hope tm goes okay for you despite this added stress ❤️
